Book Review:
''Dean Koontz is known for his dark thrillers, but with 'Life Expectancy,' he delivers something truly special. As the Washington Post Book World put it, it's 'delightful...funny, scary and entertaining.' It's a novel that will leave you 'aglow,' as Publishers Weekly noted in their starred review.

The premise is wonderfully original: a man is given a roadmap of the five worst days of his life before they even happen. The suspense comes not from wondering if something will happen, but what and how. Koontz fills these five days with an unforgettable cast of characters, bizarre villains, and heart-stopping action.

What sets this book apart is its warmth and humor. The protagonist, Jimmy, is a likable everyman, and his love for his family is the heart of the story. It's a roller-coaster ride that is both scary and surprisingly uplifting. If you're looking for a Koontz novel that is a bit different—a perfect blend of thrills and charm—'Life Expectancy' is highly recommended.''
